The iinden-iiied,. members of the Whig fl.tte Control Committee of Indidii-i, assembled this day at the Capitol, to consider the best nraiis of supplying a candidate far the office of Governor. The declination of eltsha embree, Iom!uated in Janu-iry last, by the Whig Cooiitioii, ltavrs a v cm. y incur g neral ticket, mid imposes (he necessity of a speedy choice of mother proper and acceptable name, for that liilh trn.t. The Stat,. Centra! Commilte, after a careful i oif.hVr.ilien.of' il. datj ,0 th0(h. represented by it. rtn7 teemed it proper to postpone any nomination till the great body r the Whig Party, Ihrotigh its chosen delegates, can be heard from iu a statu coNvtsTio.". For this purpose, the cni.miit--c would moat respectfully recommend mm LJf legates chosen by the People, in the v,..u linen, Bssemuie al ludianapolis on Thursday, the third day of May next, to nomin- j ete a Candidate for Governor, and the prompt nnd speedy co-operation of our fellow-ciliiens, us mi's maiier, is urgently tuvoked.

The commencement of that Administration is auspicious, and all the just expesttutioiisiof the American Tropic will b. renliz-d in thenrqoel of its'history. To the Whigs of Indiana the men rf 1840, 'U, and ISMS we would appeal to sustain the ovrretgnity ofthe People 'and freedom of Congress against the Wto Power. On "all questions of domestic policy" President Taylor rejects the right to use that negative ou the action of Congress. His Inaugural Address is before the country, and no fair man will charge that he U not explicit on this head. Many of those who acted with the Whigs f Indiana, in years gone by, abandoned their party in 184;?, and voted for Mr. Vau Bureo, under the fatal' mistake that he was a more reliable friend to the free action of Congr.se, io reference to lavery, than Gen. Taylor! Thousands of them were honest in this opinion, erroneous as It im nriiu.n I l. n... .1 ... uui mat error has had its oy, and it wiil answer no good purpose to discuss it now. The mischief which resulted to I lie v h.e par;y of Indianna, by reason of that schism li its ranks, will, it is hoped, be of .hort ouration, and it i. confidently expected that the good sense of these seceding brethren will lnduoe them to return to the "house of their f.-ienus," where by modeiate counsels, and a well digested course of political action, they may aid in building up th temple of freedom In the new empires on the Pacific. Wo see nothing to keep them from their old friends nothiugto estrange nothing to repel them They differ in no essential measure of governmental policy from the Whig party of Indiana, iu the ranks of which, for years, many huntlred. of them held a,hlSh and elevated position. They will rrflrtt on their duty they will perform it. A. a party, the Whigs of Indiana l ave aothIng to discuurage them. Our defeat in November was the result of causes which cannot operate agn .

saved the Whig party from a generaf defeat, and, let ns add, the country from the misrule which has so long marked its history. Bnt we hare still adulyto perform in reclaiming our beloved Indiana from opposition to the new ad

ministration, end we should lose no time in accomplishing that desirable end. The declination of onr candidate, (Judge Embree) for reasons which were feared and foreseen in Janu ary, has emboldened onr political opponents, and seems to inspire them with confidence, felt or feigned, that they will continue to bestride the State with their heresies and abases. They understand boasting, end mean to practice on their knowledge; but that should have no effect on Whigs of this State. These boasts are idle, as the past has shown, in more instances than one. The same predictions were made in reference to Gen. Taylor, who, they modestly asserted,

would get but from two to four States! Thi9(nerof taking from him all his regular troops.

Colouel Webb, who is in Wash ington, furnishes to the Courier the following statement, hicli, if it be strictly corect, as no doubt it is, unless the infomatioo upon which it was made was erroneous, will enable the. public to form a correct opinion, upon the subject, and they will not be slow to do so: Halt.

By an arrival at new Orleans, which brought news from Chug res to the first inst., we learn that the steamer Oregon reached Panama on the 23d u It., and would leave for San Francisco about the 15th inst.; that she would take 300 passengers, leaving with the eucessive arrivals not less than 1500, for whom no means of going forward were to be had. A party of 200 had chartered the brig Belfast, and left on the 25th ult. The emigrants are represented to be in a healthy condition, but somewhat dejected by deten tions, and also by a rumor, which prevailed, thut the steamer Californian would not soon return, as her crew would desert on reaching the gold region. The proclamation of Gen. Smith, interdicting foreigners from "trespassing on our gold diggins," had reached Callao and caused great sensation. The latest news from California was, that more gold placer had been found of immense value. The store ship Lexington was reported eff Valparaiso on the 6lh December with $400,000 of California gold on board. From tke Lafayrite, Ind., Allat. Dewtrarlive Tornado. On Tuesday, the 20th, inst , the neighborhood of Walnut Grove in Warren Couuty was visited by a very destructive hurricane. We are indebted to Mr. Joscm Moose jr., for some account of the damage done, which is said to have been immense, and not yet entirely asceitaiued. The storm commenced at Walnut Grove and tended in a northeasterly direction, carrying everything before it stated at onr office by men , of undoubted veracity, that cattle which hapP0'0" to be in the way of its principal channel, wer carried (off their feet,) at least one quarter or a mile. Another informant living farther north says, one Cow to his knowledge was carried upwards of oue hundred yards, and killed Iu the fall. A two story brick house occupied by Wm. Moore, lost its roof and second story to the top of the first story. At least one fourth of a mile distant, bricks were found to have been blown from this building. The Houses of Mr. George Wolfer and Widow Hampton were laid flat, and strewed in the path of the tornado for a considerable distance. Two others belonging to Messrs. W. Timtnons, and F. Mattex lost their roofs and second stories. Stables, Barns and many other out houses, were torn to atoms, and the fragments of some of them carried to an almost incredable distance. The fencing within its whole range was laid flat. Wheat and Hay stacks were scattered as so many feathers in the air. Orchards entirely cetroyed though in some instance, we suppose fruit trees may be re-set. Nitrofira and Nouriibamt. In a recent lecture at the Manchester Mechaaics' Institute, Dr. J. S.

' Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, March 26, 1S49. The assertion that the question whether proscription or not should be the order of the dav, hU been decided by a vote of the Cabinet, is bo absurd and ridiculous that it contradicts itself. Those who have put it afloat in the newspapers . must tmnk the public extremely gullible, if they expect it to be believed. There is no such word as proscription in the Whig vocabulary, consequently no member of the Cabinet could raise the question alluded to, and no vote could have been taken on it It is not proscription for this Whig&Administration, where the commissions of LocVoco officers of the Government have expired, to ap point capable and honest Whigs to the places of the retiring incumbents. Nor can it be termed proscription for the Administration to jevoke the commissions of important apr-oiixtu&nts, made by the late Administration ou party grounds, where those commissions have a long time to run. ' The term of each Administration is four years. The existing- one was nlaced in nnr b' li,e Pe0I'le avowedly upon the ground that a radical change of the measures of the Government was necessary and proper.

There are a good many of the Senators who linger in the Capitol yet. . The crowd, which gathered here at the time of the Inauguration, have nearly all gone away, and the streets begin to look, as they are wont to do, during the ordinary recess of Cengress.

I . . . . ucrair, mc ijuesuon was put, and the decision was sgainst proscription, by the following vote: For proscription Mr. Ewing and Mr. Collamer. . Against it The President, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Preston and Mr. Johnson. Mr. Clayton was unavoidably absent, but his views were considered with those of the majority. Mr. Meredith made a courteous, firm, manly, and determined stand against theviewsof the minority; and the President himself declared he would stand by his pledges. Whether Mr. Ewing cr Me. Collamer will remain in the Cabinet is yet to be seen. It is thought they will not resign, Mr. Fillmore is on their side, and is a warm advocate for proscription; but the question is now settled." It would not, ordinarily, be necessary to notice and contradict all the idle reports, which somehow or other, era got up and propagated in this city, and thence find their way into the papers at a distance, because even before such reports get back here, their entire want of foundation is known to everybody. But this report, is so formally set forth, and with such nice particularity, upon a matter which concerns so many or the partisans of tho lats administration, at the same time places honorable gentlemen in wrong and antagonistic positions to each other, that it may not be thought out of the way, If it is noticed and contradicted. . I do not stop to inquire who set the report afloat, or who sent It off by telegraph, but I say, on an authority which admits of no doubt, that there is not a word of truth in the report. No such Cabinet meeting wa. held no such discussion took place no such vote was given. And in addition, there is no occasion for sueh a meeting for such a discussion or such a vote, because there is no division in the Cabinet oa the subject. They are united in their councils on this matter as on all others. What has been . done, h,s bee. do0.wi,hout objection rem ,yj

one, and what will be done, we may net fear will meet with the disapprobation of any one of them. The attempt to represent Mr. Collamer

and Mr. Ewing as differing with" their colleagues, in the matter of removal and appointments, may have a purpose in it; which it is easy to understand; but if it be made with any I hope of causing heart-burning and exciting jealousy in their minds, or in the minds of the other members of the Cabinet, it will fail utterly fail. Or if the report was set afloat, in hope of deterring either Mr. Collamer or Mr. Ewing from making any changes in the offices in their departments, by causing them to fear that to make such changes would be held to corroborate the report, the author of it will still fail in his purpose. . lie does not know his men, if he thinks thus to. prevent either Mr. Collamer or .Mr lowing from doing what they regard to be their duty. They may want . the courage ! which wenld keep an unfaithful or incoinpeteat person in office, but they have no fear of danger or censure for taming him out. And what is said of them, may with the same justice be said of their colleagues, and emphatically so of the President.

BnJ .in. ceritv of the female heart, by setting aright t.iub gu a gem bo proaucuve oi Happiness to the possessor. There is nothing in life so pure and devoted as the unquenchable love of woman. More priceless than the gems of Golconda, and more devout than the idolatry of 3?ecca, is the unsealed snd gushing tenderness which flow, from the fountof the female heart. It may here with propriety be asked, what so often enhances the sorrow of the female heart, causing many anxious day. and sleepless nights? Is it not the inconstancy of man? For whose sake does she bid adieu to the home of her childhood? For whom does she leave the loved father, and the doating mother, and the sweet sisters who played with her in infancy? To whom does she cling with a fond embrace, when all bother have forsaken him? Woman, from the delicacy of her nature, cannot, like man, traverse the distant countries of the earth, and by travel find a healing balm for the rooted sorrows of the agonized bosom; she cannot like him interest herself in the political affairs of the nation. Oh, no, her chief delight is in the "domestic circle, there to illume I with joy the tranquil fireside of home, and If the "Star Spangled Banner" of her country is only honored and respected among the nations of the earth, 'tis all she desires.

Those whose fortune has been to be connected with the Sons snd Daughters of Temperance, and other kindred Orders, can speak in glowing terms of the excellent effects of the fraternity and sisterhood system. Who has not heard of many isstanees, where th. stranger in a strange place, very far from home aad kindred, struck down with disease with funds exhausted, has been kindly cared for; has received medical attention and the constant aid of aklad nurse, and were recovered and sent home with a full pocket, to gladden the hearts of a mother, sister, or wife and little ones! Who of those Order, does not know that but for the brotherhood, the stranger might have found a pauper', cell; a pauper's grave! The thousands who will read this article w ill think "yes, such a case and such a cause I knew thrice noble Orders, success be with you!" Are not women often times from home among strangers? Does not sickness overtake tliem ? Among strangers do not woman need counsel, tympathy, kind words, affectionate hearts, and in the dark hours of this life, friends, a. much a. men? How more than, men, all manly hearts respond! Then why should they not be encouraged in their effort, to assist each other?
